Wave Without A Shore
It’s a work in progress but everything should work now
Managed to get vaccination #1, and #2 is scheduled the evening before Jane’s next hip replacement.
It was a little fraught with confusion--=nobody expected the 7:00 time to be PM---but it was. They had it moving pretty fast, and I exited with a card giving the batch number, etc. It was Moderna. And yesterday the Gov lowered the age for the next batch, and Jane will...
Tested clean.
The follow-up to the last colonoscopy (3 in the last 365 days, not to mention abdominal surgery) reports the latest biopsy is clear. No problem. Jane and I are, yes, happy! I've been so often in that clinic this year I'm about to demand a brass plaque.Not to mention...
Doing pretty well—repaired the instant hot water in the kitchen..
Between us, Jane and I can lift, plumb, kneel, shove, and whatnot----and we replaced the kitchen water heater. Which is pretty good for a new hip and coming off chemo. We're being thankful this year for being here in one piece and making progress. Which in 2020, is a...
Jane’s Doing Fine
Mostly incision pain. She's moving about pretty well, but relying on the walker to avoid thoughtless twists and other bodily moves that could tweak abused muscle. The only muscle incision is vertical, but there is 'retraction', which is not a gentle process. She's...
We can’t do anything the simple way…
On her way to the car, Jane hit the door open button for the garage. In the dark of 6am in Spokane winter. She settled in (I'd been warming the car.) and I hit the door open button on the car visor and backed out. Hit the garage door. It IS a both open and close...
Well, adventures weren’t over…
On a snowy night at 3 am, Jane had gut pain severe enough I took her to a fancy clinic, which called an ambulance to get her to the hospital for removal of her gall bladder, which had never given any prior trouble. That was a week ago. Today she gets her right hip...
This last year….
Ill in January, I bounced through a series of medical appointments which. thanks to one doc and two NP's, bounced me to a colonoscopy. which found, yes, cancer. I was in surgery within two weeks, on chemo the week after that, and am glad to report I finished chemo in...
We are socked in like Smo (Spo) kon, for those of you who were there.
We have 2 big air purifiers, and are very glad to have them. Outside smells like a smoker's convention. Inside is fairly nice. We're not in danger here in WA, but some of our small towns are, and CA and OR are hard hit. Good wishes to all in the affected zonmes. Stay...
Hope you are all safe from the fires and the hurricane. 2020, what can we say?
We're doing well, even cool, in the PNW, but to our south, alas, poor California---and hugs to those dealing with the hurricane.
Jane & I won the Prometheus Award for Alliance Rising
It's a very nice award. It recognizes a book that promotes individual freedom or the right to 'vote with one's feet' when it comes to choosing your allies and your government. Intelligence and foresight matter. Which is something AR is about.
Under the weather last 2 weeks, doing better.
Not the virus. Just crud. But ok. We're saying a reluctant goodbye to Scott---he's been with us a long time, part of the 'family', he and Andrea. But construction jobs have to end, and he has to move on to a shower install elsewhere. He'll pop back in to help us with...
We are officially into the cleanup phase of house remodel…
And with Scott's help---we managed to get the weight of the marine tank canopy reduced by about 90% which means easy off-on. Feeding is still an adventure---I have to get a short ladder and climb up to drop food in, but that's not too bad. OTOH, FINITY made the leap...
